-ii-il lI9ll4l4l AXNNIUAXIL MR. MARTIN'S MAD HOUSE The time is fifteen minutes until nine on an average school morning. The scene is the study hall of dear old Creston High School. Scattered here and there are students in their seats studying industriously. Others are laughing and talking, yes, and even arguing. Arguments are heard on almost any subject. 'LChester will take the tournament Ifll bet. Chester? Don't you know that Smithville beat Chester not very long ago? NI didn't like that show last night -Htoo much sob stuff. Oh, you don't know what you're talking about! I like that kind better than those old Western shows. I think we should go to some big city and visit night clubs and all the hot spots, a senior is heard to say. Another im' mediately answers, Well, I don't have money to spend like you do. It costs a lot to visit a city. 'iWell, why don't we visit some of Ohio's beautiful spots? Oh, gosh, who wants to do that? I do. just then in walks Mr. Don Martin, lord of study hall. Will you people please take your seats and be quiet? storms Mr, Martin. After this I don't want to tell you again. During the next ten minutes pupils go in and out the spacious hall. As one sits in the room trying to study, he can hear much talking and laughing in the outer hall. Now more and more pupils are taking their seats in study hall and one knows that it is near nine o'clock. Suddenly a bell rings and in walk students of all shapes and sizes. For about three minutes, there is quite a commotion taking place, much to the annoyance of Mr. Martin. While everyone is trying to get settled, Miss Betty Plants gets up and strains her neck. Vxfhy? Because she is official roll taker and she must see who is and who isn't there. just about this time, Donna Wright and Mary Zehner find set mouse traps in their desks and are afraid to take them out. Back to the senior section walks Mr. Martin. Into the desk goes his hand, but out it comes much faster. Finally, with much skill on his part, he pulls both his hand and the mouse trap out without being injured. 7 Mr. Martin then proceeds to his throne at the front of the room. just as the tardy bell rings, in walks Kenny Bricker exclaiming, Whew, I made it! He is closely followed by Bernice Collins. just about this time, Ena Dyck trails along in, too. Sudf denly, a loud crack is heard, and Bernice Collins is heard to exclaim as she places her hand on her heart, OfOh! Then everyone bursts out laughing, including Berny. Finally quiet is once more regained. Just behind me Opal Fry whispers, Now I suppose he'll give some detention hall sentences! Mr. Martin pushes his chair back and stands up. All, especially the guilty ones, hold their breath. Why? They fear def tention hall sentences. , Boyes, Zehner, Irvin, Meyer, Henry, and Collins will visit Miss McIlvaine for one hour tomorrow. First classes are now called. After a few outraged protests from these offenders, everyone, or almost everyone, files out and a new day at Creston High School is begun.
